Happy Birthday - Guest designer for CSI

Happy New Year to you all, I have you had a wonderful Christmas.

CSI are celebrating their fifth Birthday and Debbi kindly asked previous designers

 to return and join in the fun.

CLICK HERE
to see what all the talented designers have created to inspire you.

The cat paper is from Crate Paper, Cute Girl, "Sassy, impertinent".

The tiny enamel heart dot is from Prima.

The flower die cuts are by WeR Memory Keepers.

The puffy triangle stickers are from Heidi Swapp.

I used Faber Castell whipped spackle through a Jenni Bowlin stencil for the texture

and a Kaiser craft die for the Happy Birthday title.

The Scene - All five Colours used were used.

The Evidence - I used Triangles, Banner, String, Enamel dots, 

Leaves, Cooking inspired item (cupcake)

The Testimony - Document a Birthday

I chose to scrap these fun pictures about a “Hello Kitty” party.

If you've never played along at CSI, this is the perfect case file to start with.

It comes with a great sketch by Em Stafrace as an added bonus.

I love reading your sweet comments and thank you for taking the time to leave them.

Wish - DT for Stuck?! Sketches!

Hello Scrappy friends, welcome to my blog and Happy New Year.

Today I'm sharing a page for STUCK?! SKETCHES!

Why not click on the link and see what the rest of the team have designed to inspire you?

I recently got my hands on some of the delightful 49 and Market papers.

This range is "Heirloom Botanicals" and worked well with the colours in the photo.

The flowers were fussy cut from a matching sheet of Heirloom Botanicals.

I hand stitched the semi-circle at the top and did some random stamping.

The fabric star came from Charm's creations, who is one of our generous sponsors this month.

I'm trying to write on some of the layouts....hmmm...not convinced it's a good idea

it wouldn't get a tick from Sr. Romanus!!

We are so lucky to have our Grand daughter's company every week,

she is such fun to have around.

I hope you will enter the challenge and have a chance to win one of the super prizes.

Charms are sponsoring a $50.00 gift certificate.

Accent Scrapbooking are sponsoring a $25.00 gift certificate.

Thanks for calling in.  I love it when you leave a comment, I so enjoy reading them.

Remember - Kraft+ DT January 2017

Welcome back Scrappy Friends and thanks for visiting today.
A brand New Year with no mistakes in it!

I’ve been a long time admirer of Kraft+ and was delighted to be invited to join the team.  

I feel like I’m standing on the shoulders of giants; 

as I’ve learned so much from these artists.

Thank you for the opportunity Sandra. 

To be eligible to win one of the many prizes, 

make sure that your work is on Kraft cardstock.

Use the phrase "On your bike" to inspire your page.

I thought this was a cracker of a challenge.  I was inspired by the blue shutters and the white washed feel of the mood board, as well as the theme, "On your bike"

Because I chose travel photos, I wanted to keep the layout simple.  The circle shape and the upside down figures hint at travel around the globe. 

The Kaisercraft paper, Base Coat Collection, "Cracked" matched my photos perfectly.

The bike charm is from Sirrah Sirrah. 

The wooden figures are from Freckled Fawn. 

And the gorgeous flair is from Studio Fourteen40

Here's the journalling, if you are interested and unable to read it on the page.

You have a whole month to join in the challenge 

and have a chance of winning one of the fabulous prizes from our generous sponsors.

Your kind comments make me smile; thanks for leaving some love.
